What you propose is good (and we also automatically fix error when there was no config.mak - it was working but cp was giving an error to stderr but script was continuing normally). I would amend your squash the following way: * `test -f` -> `test -e`, because -f tests whether a file exists _and_ is regular file. Some people might have config.mak as a symlink for example. We don't want to miss them too. Please find updated patch below: ---- 8< ---- From: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [PATCH] t/perf/run: Don't forget to copy config.mak.autogen & friends to build area Otherwise for people who use autotools-based configure in main worktree, the performance testing results will be inconsistent as work and build trees could be using e.g. different optimization levels. See e.g. http://public-inbox.org/git/20160818175222.bmm3ivjheokf2qzl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ for example. NOTE config.status has to be copied because otherwise without it the build would want to run reconfigure this way loosing just copied config.mak.autogen.
